VMware MOB Extension Details
You may come across an instance where you need to remove an extension (Update Manager, vSphere Replication, vRealize Operations, etc.) and you follow directions only to find that you don’t actually know what the extension is called in the Managed Object Browser of your vCenter (https://[vCenter or IP]/mob). Belwo is a helpful chart that should tie together the name in the MOB relative to its actual function.

I am a Sr. Systems Engineer by profession and am interested in all aspects of technology. I am most interested in virtualization, storage, and enterprise hardware. I am also interested in leveraging public and private cloud technologies such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure, and vRealize Automation/vCloud Director. When not working with technology I enjoy building high performance cars and dabbling with photography. Thanks for checking out my blog!
